China has relaxed a bit since: for a while, one film fan had a blog called Research Centre for Nipples in Chinese Films.
据一位电影爱好者的博客中国电影乳房研究中心所言,自那时开始,中国已经逐渐放开了一些。

但是近年来保守之风又死灰复燃。
The nude scene in Titanic, a Hollywood film, was screened intact in China in 1998, for example, but removed from the 3D version released in 2012.
例如好莱坞电影《泰坦尼克》1998年在中国放映时,戏中的裸露镜头是保持完整的,但是在2012年重新发布的3D版中却被删减。
Heaving bosoms have been blacklisted too:
丰满的胸部也被列入了黑名单:
in the past year two popular TV dramas have been forced to re-edit shots that include plunging necklines and to zoom in on the actresses' faces instead (movies involving such filming techniques are referred to scathingly as big-head ones).
去年两部热播电视部就被强迫重新编辑镜头,聚焦到将含有低胸画面的镜头改成女主角的脸部(使用到此类拍摄技巧的电影被人们戏谑地称为大头娃娃版)。
Online streaming sites, which previously had often succeeded in escaping the censors' attention, are coming under closer scrutiny.

One blockbuster released in 2015, Gone with the Bullets, had to delay its premiere, probably because it had to adjust some of its sexually suggestive content.

But it featured 45 smoking scenes—around one every three minutes.
但是电影中出现了45个抽烟的镜头—约每三分钟出现一次。
Tolerance for violence is higher than it is for sex, perhaps because so much of what passes for entertainment on TV and in cinemas is in fact propaganda relating to the war against the Japanese and the party's bloody rise to power.
对暴力内容的容忍度比性要高,这或许是因为许多电视节目和电影实际上都是在宣传反对日本侵略的战争,以及宣扬共产党崛起的血腥历程。
Such historical gore is mostly given a clean pass (although some anti-Japanese war shows were reined in for being overly dramatic in 2013).
类似的历史剧一般都不会遭到刁难(尽管2013年一些抗日战争剧因为过于戏剧化而被禁播)。
A Chinese film released in 2006, Curse of the Golden Flower, was given a rating in America that required those under 17 to be accompanied by an adult because of its violent scenes.
2006年上映的电影《满城尽带黄金甲》因为其中的暴力场景,在美国被评级为17岁以下人员需由一名成人陪同才可观看。
But these scenes were left uncut when it was screened in China. Viewers were given no warning about them.
但是这些画面在中国上映时并没有被删减,观影者没有接到任何警告。


On TV The Patriot (Yue Fei), a popular historical drama, commonly features long fights with bloody swords, arrows through the heart and dripping corpses.
